Mary J. Blige to perform at Nobel Peace Prize concert

Taking place on December 11th at Oslo, Norway's Spektrum Arena, the concert will also feature performances from James Blunt, Swedish singer Zara Larsson and the Norwegian hip-hop duo Envy.

In a statement, the Secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee says the committee is "thrilled" to have a such a "stellar group of artists" on the bill for this year's concert. Apart from the spectacular music lineup, the concert will be hosted by "Homeland" actress Claire Danes.

This year's Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons "for its extensive efforts to eliminated chemical weapons."
